Ui for upgrades cant cope at 5120x1440 res. Not surprising, but worth fixing :D Or allow windowed mode!

I'm looking into it but I think its actually a server problem :( something to do with php versions, which is super annoying because changing the php version might break other stuff. It runs on a super old version of php, which is apparently security vulnerable.

Hopefully I can work out what it is. I cant actually find the client source code right now, which is a bit of a disaster, so I'm hoping to fix it server side.

This space game was actually written ground-up from scratch, without the GSB source...

But under a million score?  Do better :D.

email me at cliff@positech.co.uk!

I'd say its version 1.0. Its playable and pretty balanced. I might update it later though!

I had a payment rejected by payoneer, and would rather it was made again using paypal, but itch dont seem to even realize the payment was rejected. When can we expect a fix for that?

still going to add Japan before that!

ive generally assumed that at a high level, the subsidies slider is effectively meaning grants.

Excellent :D

The game is still being balanced, and it might turn out that the liberal/socialist path is possibly a bit too easy, depending on which country you play.

Yup, end game will get better over time. We still have some situations and events that do not trigger enough yet which will hopefully provide more late game challenge.

I was thinking of adding south korea at some point :D At the moment all of the laffer curves are the same, but the public reaction to stuff is very varied based on their capitalist/socialist mix, so politically the situation should feel different in each country with the same policies.

surely its *possible*. Unpopualr, definitely but theoretically possible, even if it leads to vigilante mobs, rioting and losing an election

So... I just lost one customer over this, and still nobody at itch can be bothered to reply, so its back to selling through the humble weidget for me. Amazing. its not like I dont sell any copies...

So... my game (Democracy 4 ) got steam keys added to it when we went into early access. I have multiple reports of owners saying they dont see the steam key link, even though the keys are added, and the number of them available is going down. I have messaged itch, even asked them to look into it on twitter but had zero response. Getting a bit fed up now :(

Any ideas?

I've emailed itch to ask them what the hell is going on, because they have the keys, people are claiming them, and its all set up correctly... they have not replied to me yet :(

The game is the exact same price on here and on steam. You shold have a steam key in your itch account if you bought the game. I can see that a lot of keys have been claimed. are you not able to see one?

The trouble is we are not yet simulating the level of regulation :(

Interesting ideas, cheers

probably more profitable in that situation to sell the excess energy to neighbours? :D

steam keys should now already be in your itch account...err...i think there is a button to 'claim key' or something?

Can you give the latest version a go and let me know if that fixes it? I just updated the installer. Many thanks

Yes, we are working on a fix for this. its most annoying. I assume you are seeing this:

It seems to be some driver/screen res combination :(. Does it happen after about half an hour or more of playing?

thats ultra weird. you mean the rest of the UI was there but those buttons were not? I'd love to see a screenshot.

hi, what do you mean by the button is not there? this is a downlaodable game, not a web game.

hmmm. im afriad I do not own a mac, so have not used it myself, I know its working forn some users. It only uses a relatively old opengl version so shouldnt have any compatibility issues :( I'll ask around.

hi, what do you mean by having prefix aborted? I know some people are playing the game under WINE right now.

yup

we are not sure if we will be releasing on mac, but if you use WINE (free emulator) it will run fine through that.

Hi, sorry we are new to itch and TBH didnt realize there were comments added here! Can you email me direct at cliff at positech dot co dot uk, and I can investigate. Is there an error message when you run the game? does the game create a folder at \my documets\my games\democracy 4\debug?

Hi, sorry we are new to itch and TBH didnt realize there were comments added here! Can you email me direct at cliff at positech dot co dot uk, and I can investigate. Whats the exact error message you get?

not yet, but it may well run ok under WINE on a mac.

I have a similar thing, my game (Democracy 4) doesn't seem to show up anywhere in the store, even by search, but its set up with a widget and selling ok :D
